Hey it was bloody cold that ride all on my own in the sleet or snow wotever it was!!!!

Nearly summer now just need to stick with it, I have been out a few times and they are ok now. Kev how you getting on in the wet??

Hmmmmm I can see a long weekend camping in Newquay then a blast down to plymouth on the 15th does anybody else see that or is it just my eyes???

Is this pootle going to be a bit warmer than the last one I got home frozen!! Topps wouldve beaten me back my carbs mustve been ice polls!!!!!! Are we looking at this weekend then?? I am here I think work permitting, yes work again pain in the ass!!! but i do make plans and get called out grrrrrrrrrr

Do we have any timings and stuff Helen???

Oh H you put any pics of your new bike up yet???

Cant you northerners camp? I am sure I saw tents there a few years back....

Might be up for it its only up the road shall not take any credit cards this time lolol

The show will take place at the Metropolitan Police Training School (Peeler Centre), Aerodrome Road, Hendon, NW9 5JE on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th March 2008. Entry will be FREE, as will exhibiting.

Sorry guys was reading through and just couldn't help it!!!!

Col how the hell do you hide a feck off white pan with lights on!?!?!?! Urm no just cant see it hehehe

My friend says the purple ahem sorry White Helmets are going never seen them yet been in the Signals 10 years not sure is thats good or bad

Anybody down this way planning on going? Perhaps we could all meet and follow somebody with a sat nav, I haven't done London without one yet!!

What about that pub on the Hinkley to Leicester road??? Can't remember the name has been years since I went there...

There was a nice pub that often had bikes outside and that was Appleby Magna again can't think of the name sorry folks. It was on a great road though!!

Col I am looking at going if I am no in France.

Doesnt look like the work bike is a go people seem to keep dropping them and one has been written off

Looks good might try getting along, even better I might see if I can get hold of the work bike to go along on

You could get there in a day easy, i managed liverpool to hohne in about 15 hours including crossings and torrential rain!!! so that leaves several days for partying and camping. what do you think peeps???

do we have any ideas of dates or are we sort of going off thread

Try doing a search on http://www.yell.com you can find just about anything on there.

Sorry i can't be of much more help your a little far from any welders I might know!!

I might be up for this if I am not on call as I wanted to do the last one..... Later in the month might be better for me as I have a busy month

Did you get many people turn up????

I have been out and just got in, christ the temperature is low!!!! Could see my breath in my helmet

Whats the temp like up there?? Its about zero here maybe slightly warmer in the sun...

Sorry Nigel didnt see that you had already suggested the flooding problem

Is it a 2 stroke?? Have you knackered the plugs? My old 125 was forever having that problem....

When it wouldnt start again did you try bumping it? Perhaps it was flooded? Im sure a boffin will be along in a bit to help ya

Might be up for it but your quite a distance from me and the bike is in a few bits

What were you thinking??

Yeah think ill be up for that!!! was so close to going last year when i visited Hohne just weather wasnt great at the time.

When were you thinking of going??? Just an approximate date/month....

Anybody seen the R1, ZX10 and mercedes AMG going round? would put a link up but i cant remember where i downloaded it from

Didn't ride mate was in daughter's KA , just in case I saw some kit at NEC (only thing I bought was a hotdog and a bottle of mineral water . Also the longrange forecast was seriously cr@p. Cheers though will take up your offer of a cuppa next time I head down , will be on the bike for certain

Bet that cost a fortune aswell

Looks like the lads are either going to have a great time with the amount of lasses or be fed up listening to girly chat

I managed to stay dry up this neck of the woods!!!

Went out for a quick blast for an hour or so on this nice little circuit to reading got back, washed the car got sponge to do the bike and the heavens opened it p*ssed it down!!! promptly pushed the bike back in to the garage dried it and took it apart lol had the idea of doing some work on it and sort of got side tracked/bored

Its really bright and dry here barely a cloud in sight but the weather said it could change very quickly, am going to risk it as its not cold enough to screw up my carbs today, me thinks ill be going a bit faster than a 125 today

I am about to get out myself sadly poole is too far to blag being 15 (ish) mins away

Possibly might be able to make it if i finish work early enough and on the right day. It depends on how much sleep I get next week aswell I dont want to fall asleep and wake up with no eyebrows or something

sadly i am on suty so i cant make it sorry
